| For all but 4 teams......Great game last night....Dodgers with 14 hits but left too many on base,Phillies misses a couple opportunities to end innings.Dodgers came out aggressive,Phils did not,but their patience held out while the Dodgers lost theirs.Looks like it will come down to the managers pulling the starters at the right time and bullpens,Dodgers have an edge there unless Lidge is back to form.Both teams can hit,but the Phillies have more power and consistence through most of their line up...GO PHILLIES

| Yeah man, only in Phila can you get the fans excited about losing 10,000 games. Remember when that happened and the Phils tried to keep a lid on it. But Sports Radio was all over it. I love it. I love it in the way they threw snowballs at Santa Claus, like the way they used to attack the Giants and Redskins Fans back in the late 70s (once saw about 3 full sections fighting in the middle of a very boring game), in the way nobody uses their horn much in Phila but everyone uses the finger (works better-more personal). Phila is a mean town when it comes to sports. Like the saying goes, "Only in Phila can you have the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day in the paper". A straight up mean sports town. |

| For Series, Jersey is both a blue and a red state Tuesday, October 27, 2009 Dan Goldberg FOR THE STAR-LEDGER Chuck Cruser was at a Modell's in Hamilton Township yesterday afternoon trying on a Phillies hat. It didn't fit. He purchased a Yankees cap instead. "I might still buy a Phillies hat," said Cruser, who roots for both the Phillies and the Yankees during the regular season. After some pressing, Cruser said he will pull for the Yankees when the two teams meet in the World Series. "I think it will be a lot of fun," Cruser said. "I think the Yankees win in seven." No matter whether it's Yankees in seven or Phillies in four, one thing is certain: The World Series goes through New Jersey this year. Just last January, the state's split sports personality came to light when the Giants and Eagles met in the NFL playoffs, but this is the first time since 1950 the Yankees of the American League will meet the Phillies of the National League to determine baseball supremacy. Let the Turnpike trash talking begin. For the record, the exact midpoint between New York City and Philadelphia is in Plainsboro, according to Geographic Midpoint Calculator With Maps. But residents of the southern Middlesex County town say the area is solidly behind the pinstripes. To find the true dividing line, where Philly red mixes with Yankee blue, you have to travel south into Mercer County, to Hamilton Township. That, according to residents, is where Yankee pride begins to give way to Philly fanatics. That is where there will be divided homes, intermarriages, and trash-talking neighbors. Elaine Matt, who lives in Robbinsville, came to the Modell's to purchase a Yankee T-shirt. Her house is Yankee territory, but her sister, she explained, rolling her eyes, is a Phillies fan. "She married a guy from Bordentown," Matt said. Bordentown is in a part of the state defined as "Philly Land" by a June 2009 Quinnipiac poll. That's Mercer County and south, according to Micky Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. The poll showed that 75 percent of those in "Philly Land" identified as Phillies fans. The Yankees dominated the rest of the state, with the Mets claiming about one in five New Jersey hearts. "Only in the Philadelphia suburbs do the Phillies dominate," said Clay Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. The Jersey Shore counties, according to the poll, favor the Yankees over the Phillies by about a two-to-one margin. Hamilton may not be the geographic middle but it is a 50-50 town, said Scott Loessy, the general manager at Modell's. Business was booming at his sporting goods store, where two tables had been set up just feet from the entrance. To the left a table for Phillies fans, to the right all Yankees gear. "This Monday is like a Saturday," Loessy said. "It's better than that. It's like black Friday." Yankee merchandise was moving a bit quicker, but Loessy attributed that to the fact that the Phillies won the pennant last year, not the demographics of the town. This will be the first trip to Fall Classic for the Yankees since they lost to the Florida Marlins in 2003. The last time the Phillies and Yankees met in the World Series was in 1950. The Yankees swept the series, the second of what would be a record five consecutive titles. Loessy said his customers were dealing with a range of emotions, including how to care for a loved one who roots for the other team. That was the case for Charles Vadino, a corrections officer at the state prison in Trenton, who was looking at Yankees gear for his 16-year-old son. Born in South Philly, Vadino will be cheering for the Phillies this week. His son, though, grew up a Derek Jeter fan. Vadino said the two remain on speaking terms, but like any parent with teenagers, he had to make the rules explicit. "I wished him congratulations," Vadino said, "but I told him, "Officially, we are now enemies.' " For Series, Jersey is both a blue and a red state - Page 3 - NJ.com

| Beauty of a game for Lee, nice job. Think they may be pushing it expecting him to do it again with 3 days rest. Tonight. Pedro. About .500 against the Yankees. Saturday night, Cole Hammils. Those two guys make me VERY nervous. Would rather start Hammils tonight (if we lose, we lose) and start Pedro on Saturday in an NL park. But, Charlie Manuel sees it differently. And he's taken them to the World Series 2x. My biggest worry is the Yankees bats will wake up. And Pedro might be the guy to get that happening. The dude is a mercenary but he gets it done. Sometimes. Sometimes not. If A-Rod and his Cast of Characters start hitting, this is going to get ugly fast. If Pedro bails early, the Phils will use a lot of their bullpen. As for the Yankees, nowhere near as deep in the bullpen as people give them credit but it's still a good bunch. This series could come down to non-starting pitching. Who can carry the middle innings. |

| Good move to start P-Mart in 2nd game.He gets up for this stuff and has more insight on the Yankees hitters and he has been pitching well of late.Hamels is struggling a bit and is down to 2 pitches having lost some command/faith of/in his curve-ball.Besides,Hamels pitches better at home so why not put him into a better situation to succeed.With all the media hype over P-Mart,I think that Charlie Manuel is counting on some of the Yankees to loose focus trying to beat P-Mart instead of the task at hand which is to find a way to beat the Phillies.Kudos to LEE and UTLEY for W/S records....GO PHILLIES

| CC pitched well enough to win, but Lee was brilliant! As a Yankee fan, I take my hat off to him. The old cliche rings true....."good pitching beats good hitting". And there's gotta be pressure on AJ. Yanks need to remind Pedro that "they're his Daddy". TO
